The Latest Fan Theory of Jurassic Park is Crazy Enough to Be True
Jurassic Park is one of the most iconic and successful
Hollywood blockbusters of all time with precisely designed big-budget
entertainment delivered by Steven Spielberg, but also one of the groundbreaking
performance or intelligent storytelling and developed characters. The
screenplay is co-authored by David Koepp and Micheal Crichton who have done
their level best to ensure that any plot discrepancy that might crop up is
adequately sealed. But the smallest ambiguities in the story have led to fans
concocting some elaborate theories. Even though Jurassic Park movies present
Hammond to be a highly ambitious man with his charisma and grandfather-like
warmth, the theory states that the man hatched a plot conniving a ruse right in
front of everybody, without them noticing.
One of the most convincing theories of all suggests that the
seemingly lovely industrialist John Hammond and his plan to open a theme park
with dinosaur clones might not have been as solemn as portrayed. Let us take a
look into how John Hammond is as a person, by focusing on a critical scene. In
the third act, John Hammond and Ellie Sattler have a conversation about his
first attachment after moving from Scotland to London was with a flea market.
Hammond explained that no matter how mechanized it got, people were mostly
interested in the fleas performing the tricks.
This is where he wanted Jurassic Park to be different. He
nearly tears up when he says that they wanted the world to have something more
than just an illusion, something that was real once and something they could
touch. What people failed to realize was that Hammond did not intend Jurassic
Park to be the world’s largest flea market but instead, he was doing this to
lure in the investors more than the audience. His teary-eyed performance lacked
any dishonesty, but the same was not true when it came to his plan.
Secondly, the sheer impossibility to clone an entire
dinosaur out the DNA procured from a mosquito is a glaring plot hole. Still,
fans are willing to accept this as a possibility in the movie’s universe so
that the things can get moving. The story is much more logical if we consider
the theory that the entire park is nothing more than a stage trick. To clone
something that still exists on earth is difficult, let alone an extinct
species. Though it is frequently suggested that Hammond engineered plastic
dinosaurs in his laboratory and just marketed them as clones, it is still hard
to comprehend how he brought in the tremendous flow of investors. The only way
to explain it is that he was first and foremost a salesman and he pitched them
the idea in words that they wanted to hear.
And pitching the park successfully to the investors was just
the first part of his plan because he was marketing his technology which had
significant implications. Hammond is directly selling potential for more parks
throughout the world. The initial round of funds was ample for him to attain
dinosaur DNA and create a defaulted specimen which will die within a concise
period. But that can be used as “proof” to spoof progress for the investor and
bring in more money from the government and private institutes.
And by the end, even if he makes one robust clone, the
revolution would set in, and the investors will be satisfied with the return on
investment. They might also want to invest further because they will have a
carrot dangling in front of them. The park and the research were both a sham to
earn from investors’ need to be part of scientific innovation.
Sadly Hammond was not motivated by research or
earth-shattering ideas. He knew his original plan would never materialize, and
he decided to bank on the mere illusion of the entire thing. The island itself
ensures that they are home to an utterly superficial façade of purpose. Hammond
claims that he spared no expense, but there is no proof of his words since it
is glaringly apparent that he did not do any justice to the infrastructural
requirements.
